How-to: Expose Your Bobby Pins
Don’t ya just hate struggling to hide your bobby pins? Well now you don’t have to! Bobby pins have been spotted on the runways as a hot fashion accessory. Up there with heabands in fact.
Jeni Hoover, owner and stylist at Pearl Hair & Make-up Studio, gave us a great how-to on how you can recreate this look. I haven’t tried this yet but I plan to try it out this weekend for a wedding. Enjoy!!
1. Make a side part in the your hair, we will be working with the stronger side.
2. Using your curling iron, make horizontal barrel curls below the part, spraying a setting spray on each section, combing through, wrapping all hair around iron, and then sliding it off the rod and pinning against your scalp with a pincurl clip. Hair should be in a similar shape as when it was on the curling iron.
3. Do this down to your ear, there should be about 4-5 curls pinned parallel to your part.
4. Spray all curls with hairspray.
5. Once curls have cooled, take down and brush thoroughly, roots to ends. This pulls out the curl a bit, creating a wave, and also joining the curls together into one piece.
6. Use some polishing creme, or a light pomade, to smooth this section and create one large waved section.
7. Position this wave with a bit of slack and bring it and the rest of your hair back into a pony tail or loose bun.
8. While keeping the natural shape in the waved section, slide bobby pins in from the front of the wave, about 1/2 -1 inch apart. Pin the whole wave starting a few inches from your part. This will hold the wave in place as well.
